Can you tell us which of these errors is occurring?

See the list of TMDb server error warnings here.
https://www.themoviedb.org/documentation/api/status-codes
In your case:

7       401     Invalid API key: You must be granted a valid key.
10      401     Suspended API key: Access to your account has been suspended, contact TMDb.
14      401     Authentication failed.
16      401     Device denied.
17      401     Session denied.

This one: 7 401 Invalid API key: You must be granted a valid key.

Im using the same key as always

I don't really know how the TOKEN process works.
But I think you need to send the "Access Token Auth" and not the "API Key Auth".
Look here:
https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/intro/authentication
But it's better to wait for someone who knows the process.

In using the same Access Token Auth as always

Hi @richard_isai, this response from the server would indicate that you are sending the wrong api key or token or not sending one at all.

You would need to send the api key as: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/authentication?api_key=xxxxxxxxxx

or, send the token in the header as "Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx".

From the authentication doc, the key and token are two distinct and separate things and you must use the key in the url and the token in the authorization header.
